Pokémon Advanced Battle

Season logo.

Pokémon Advanced Battle is the eighth season of Pokémon the Series, and the third season of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. It features 53 episodes of Ash Ketchum and his friends May, Max and Brock's adventure through Hoenn from Lilycove City to Ever Grande City and Kanto from Pallet Town to Saffron City. Advanced Battle is the last Pokémon season to be dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment. The clip show featuring Ash and May was unaired outside Japan.

One episode was intended to air in Japan, but it was skipped in Japan due to strong earthquakes in Niigata prefecture nearly a week before the first airing of Solid as a Solrock. It was also subsequently skipped in the English-language broadcasts, and has never aired in any other country as well. Also, the move Earthquake, alongside similar moves such as Fissure and Magnitude, has not been used in the anime since this event.
